# Default routes

> ⚠️ This page is relevant only if you installed Forest directly on a database (SQL/Mongodb). If you installed in a Rails app, the default routes are managed within your Rails app.

Forest's default routes are generated in the `routes` folder at installation.

Below we've detailed what the `next()` statement does. Those snippets can be used when overriding those routes, as explained [here](/legacy/ruby-agent/reference-guide/routes/override-a-route).

### Create a record

### Update a record

<Info>
  Note that the **update** of `belongsTo` fields is managed by [another route](/legacy/ruby-agent/reference-guide/routes/default-routes#relationship-routes).
</Info>

### Delete a record

### Get a list of records

### Get a number of records

### Get a record

### Export a list of records

### Delete a list of records

### Other available routes

Some other routes exist but are not generated automatically because it's less likely that you'll need to extend or override them.

Here is the list:

#### Relationship routes

**GET** /forest/{modelName}/{id}/relationships/{hasManyRelationName}\
⟶ **List** has many relationships

**GET** /forest/{modelName}/{id}/relationships/{hasManyRelationName}/count\
⟶ **Count** has many relationships

**PUT** /forest/{modelName}/{id}/relationships/{belongsToRelationName}\
⟶ **Update** a belongs to field

**POST** /forest/{modelName}/{id}/relationships/{hasManyRelationName}\
⟶ **Add** existing records to has many relationship

**GET** /forest/{modelName}/{id}/relationships/{hasManyRelationName}.csv\
⟶ **Export** all has many relationships

**PUT** /forest/{modelName}/{id}/relationships/{embeddedRelationName}/{index}\
⟶ **Update** an embedded document (inside a list)

**DELETE** /forest/{modelName}/{id}/relationships/{hasManyRelationName}\
⟶ **Dissociate** records from relations

#### Action routes

**POST** /forest/actions/{actionNameDasherized}/values\
⟶ **Get** the default values for this action
